We've now reached the midpoint of the tour and Team Lanterne Rouge now comprises 6 core members; John, Jonathon, Aled, jane & Phil, and of course Graham and Niv our cycling guides one of whom is always following up at the back to check we all arrive home. Team photo will follow as soon as we encounter wifi again. In true Tdf style TLR has the occassional breakaway rider but its suprising how quickly we all regroup at the brew stops and lunch stops.

Tomorrow me head for the lakes so we'll start to encounter hills again but there should be some great scenery to go with it. We will also hit the half way mileage sometime in the afternoon, after which the distance we still have to go will be less than the distance already ridden.
